Video Game Movies,
Ranked by a Jindo.

🐾 Meeshka: Karl Urban as Johnny Cage is EXACTLY as good as I hoped — ego, sunglasses, "I’m a movie star," and a green-energy uppercut that had me barking at the screen. The rest is loud, gory, fatality-forward MK comfort food where the plot mostly exists to get to the next spine-rip — but Cage carries the whole thing on pure smug charisma, and honestly that’s enough for a rowdy fight-night. Out now: streaming on Max, or rent/buy below. FINISH HIM — and this time they mostly did.

🐾 Meeshka: Bloody, loud, and finally rated for grown dogs. Some new guy nobody asked for, but Scorpion and Sub-Zero delivered. FINISH HIM, then belly rubs.

🐾 Meeshka: More animated carnage, tournament stakes, no chill. If you liked Scorpion's Revenge, keep the treats coming. Solid follow-up.

🐾 Meeshka: Animated, mean, and gloriously gory — the tone the live-action ones kept missing. Scorpion's origin actually made me whimper. Good.

🐾 Meeshka: Everyone said this one was bad and for once the humans were right. Rubber costumes and a dragon that embarrassed itself. I have seen better animatronics at the vet. But if you love a so-bad-it’s-glorious watch, this is prime trainwreck territory — stream it with the gang and roast every frame.

🐾 Meeshka: The music slapped and people flew through the air. I would have preferred more actual biting, but at least it had energy. Acceptable background noise while I guard the couch.

🐾 Meeshka: Zach Cregger — the Barbarian guy — directing a Resident Evil? My ears shot straight up. He knows how to make a room feel WRONG. Haven’t seen it (in cinemas Sept 18), but this is the first RE movie I’m genuinely wagging for. Watch the trailer and tell me you’re not a little scared.

🐾 Meeshka: The reboot that finally hugged the games — Spencer Mansion, the RPD, the right monsters — but it was so dark and so rushed I kept losing the plot in the murk. Fans caught the references; everyone else got lost. Still a fun hate-watch with the lights off and the bar on the floor.

🐾 Meeshka: More zombies, more Milla, Nemesis stomping around like he owns the place. Dumb in the fun way. I chewed through it like a rawhide.

🐾 Meeshka: Zombies are fine. Milla is fine. Everything else felt like it was written by someone who only watched the cutscenes. I fell asleep during the laser hallway. That said — the laser hallway is an all-timer, and Milla kicking zombies is a rock-solid Friday-night stream.

🐾 Meeshka: Six movies of Milla shooting things and the plot forgetting itself. It is a lot. It is also a commitment. Bulk treats for the zombie-inclined.

🐾 Meeshka: The Alicia Vikander sequel that never was. MGM sat on it so long the film rights EXPIRED — poof, gone in July 2022. Directors swapped (Ben Wheatley, then Misha Green), COVID piled on, and the whole thing fell down a tomb of its own making. The twist? Amazon MGM rebooted the entire franchise: Sophie Turner (yes, Sansa) is the new Lara Croft, Phoebe Waller-Bridge is writing it, with Sigourney Weaver and Jason Isaacs along for the raid — filming since early 2026, aiming for 2027. This one’s a ghost. File it in the graveyard with the games that never shipped.

🐾 Meeshka: Alicia Vikander actually climbed things and looked tired doing it, which felt real. Grittier than the Angelina ones. Fine. I have dug better holes, but fine.

🐾 Meeshka: Angelina again, a magic orb, some running. Forgettable like a fence post. I sniffed it once and moved on — but it’s perfect no-think popcorn action. Queue it up, don’t overthink it, enjoy the ride.

🐾 Meeshka: Angelina ran a lot and looked cool doing it. Story was thinner than my patience for vacuum cleaners. Still better than most of the 90s attempts.

🐾 Meeshka: Keanu voiced Shadow and I sat up straight. Best one yet — more chaos, more emotion, more blue. I howled when Shadow showed up. Good boy energy.

🐾 Meeshka: Tails! Knuckles! More fast blue creature. Bigger, sillier, still charming. Jim Carrey chewed the scenery like it was a bone. Tail wags.

🐾 Meeshka: Fast blue dog... wait, hedgehog. Whatever. It was fun, Jim Carrey went full feral, and I did not hate it. That is high praise.

🐾 Meeshka: All three fast-blue-hedgehog movies in one box — the rare game-movie series that got BETTER each time. Jim Carrey chews every scene, Sonic finally looks right, and by the third one they nailed it. Worth the whole bundle.

🐾 Meeshka: A REAL Street Fighter movie — the first since Van Damme yelled his way to cult infamy in ’94. New cast, actual budget, and PLEASE a plot that doesn’t sprint off like a squirrel. Game movies have burned me before, but Sonic and The Last of Us broke the curse, so my ears are UP. In theaters October 16, 2026 — watch the trailer and throw a Hadouken with me.

🐾 Meeshka: Somebody watched the Van Damme one and thought, "what if we did that again, but with less fun?" Kristin Kreuk deserved so much better, and the movie somehow forgets that Chun-Li — a FIGHTER — should mostly be fighting. BUT: Chris Klein’s Charlie Nash is a hall-of-fame overacting performance, a meme unto itself, worth the price of admission for his line readings alone. Dour where the original was dumb-fun, so bring friends and hate-watch it for the unintentional comedy.

🐾 Meeshka: I barked at the screen for two hours and nothing good happened. Jean-Claude just yelled and the plot ran away like a squirrel. Not even a good chew toy of a movie. You got paid! …And yet it’s SO bad it became legendary — grab friends, grab snacks, and hate-watch it loud. Worth one stream for the trainwreck alone.

🐾 Meeshka: The first one actually stuck the landing, so my ears are already up. Galaxy is the good Mario — spinny, floaty, star-collecty. Not seen it yet, so no promises, but the tail is doing a hopeful little wag.

🐾 Meeshka: Bright, loud, full of references, and actually enjoyable. Chris Pratt as Mario still confuses me, but the movie knew what it was and stuck the landing.

🐾 Meeshka: The infamous one. A dystopian dino-noir where Bob Hoskins reportedly drank to forget the shoot and Dennis Hopper chewed the scenery as a reptilian King Koopa. Nintendo buried it so deep you can barely stream it legally in the US — which only made the Blu-ray a collector’s treasure hunt. Goombas as tiny-headed giants, "Trust the fungus," a plot that fell down a warp pipe and never came back. It’s a genuine so-bad-it’s-fascinating relic — the disaster that scared Nintendo out of Hollywood for 30 years. Hate-watch it loud, then go hug the 2023 reboot.

🐾 Meeshka: Someone looked at Mortal Kombat: ANNIHILATION — one of the most legendarily bad game-movie sequels ever committed to film — and thought, "yes, let’s borrow THAT exact subtitle." Bold choice. This is the direct-to-video Doom: no Rock, no budget, no BFG-sized ambition, and a title that was already cursed on arrival. And yet — for a bad-movie-night crew who likes their trainwrecks off-brand, it’s a gloriously cheap hate-watch. Two Annihilations, zero regrets.

🐾 Meeshka: They had The Rock and still somehow made it boring. First-person sequence was neat for ten seconds. Then it remembered it was a bad movie. BUT that first-person sequence is a genuine cult moment — worth a stream just to watch The Rock go full doomguy.

🐾 Meeshka: The Christian Slater flop got a direct-to-video sequel nobody asked for. Lance Henriksen wandered in to collect a paycheck and even the shadows looked bored. I have napped through scarier vacuum cleaners — but it’s perfect bad-movie-night fuel, and that’s a real crowd. Stream it, roast it, enjoy it.

🐾 Meeshka: Uwe Boll doing what Uwe Boll does. Tara Reid plays a nuclear scientist, Christian Slater keeps eyeing the exit, and the plot looks assembled from spare parts in the dark. I've buried chew toys I respected more. Two paws down — but it's the gold standard of Uwe Boll disasters, and if you collect legendary trainwrecks this is a must-stream hate-watch.

🐾 Meeshka: Christophe Gans — the director who actually GOT the fog right in 2006 — is back, this time adapting Silent Hill 2, the scariest and saddest one. James, Mary, that letter, and a town that knows exactly what you did. If anyone can bottle that specific dread on film, it’s the guy who already did it once. My hackles are up in the good way. Do NOT watch this one home alone.

🐾 Meeshka: Fog, ash, and Pyramid Head — it nailed the look and the dread better than almost any game movie. The story wandered off its leash in the back half, but that atmosphere kept my ears up the whole time. I'd guard the couch for this one.

🐾 Meeshka: They’re really doing it again. The first one was dumb-fun blocky chaos that somehow WORKED, so my tail is cautiously going. But I need everyone to understand: if "Lava Chicken" claws its way back into every feed like last time, I am going to completely lose it — again. Here’s the making-of to tide us over. Bring earplugs for the inevitable chicken.

🐾 Meeshka: Chaotic, meme-heavy, and somehow charming. Jack Black as Steve was committed. Not deep, but I wagged my tail more than once.

🐾 Meeshka: Uwe Boll adapting the most tasteless game ever made — and somehow he made it MORE chaotic. Offensive on purpose, dumb by accident, occasionally so wrong it loops back to funny. I sniffed it, sneezed, walked away. One paw, held up in warning — but it’s pure hate-watch gold. Stream it with friends who won’t judge you; chaos worth witnessing once.

🐾 Meeshka: The orcs look incredible; the humans look like they wandered onto the wrong set. Gorgeous world with real Blizzard weight, but it lore-dumps like it's reading you the manual. Critics groaned, fans forgave it — I napped through the middle and woke up for the big swings.

🐾 Meeshka: Fassbender and Cotillard are far too good for this — a stacked cast stranded in gray Abstergo hallways when I just wanted rooftops and hidden blades. Handsome, humorless, and about as fun as a trip to the vet. Still — the Spain leap-of-faith and rooftop chases are genuinely gorgeous; stream it for the parkour, mute the exposition.

🐾 Meeshka: Finally a video game movie that understood joy. Ryan Reynolds as a talking Pikachu was chaotic in the best way. I would watch this while chewing a new bone.

🐾 Meeshka: Pretty people climbing things and looking for treasure. Fine airplane movie. I would not skip a walk for it.
